On Sunday night, two severe flood warnings were put in place around the River Idle, near Retford meaning risk of death or serious injury, as water levels continue to rise.
A Nottinghamshire resident whose home has been severely damaged by flooding has confronted the environment secretary over the response of the emergency services. Therese Coffey was visiting Retford which has been badly affected by Storm Babet with homes evacuated and train services disrupted. One woman, who was forced to leave her home in the middle of Sunday night, was involved in a heated discussion with the minister.
' During the visit, Ms Coffey told reporters it may take 'several months' for some people to move back into their homes. Asked if she thinks the flood defences are sufficient, the minister said: 'Well, I'm not a floods engineer, so I have to go on what the Environment Agency is determining in different parts of the country. 'But that's part of the reason for the conversations with the chief executive who's elsewhere in Nottinghamshire today.
